Dumbest things you've done in EVE?

I thought it'd be interesting to hear about people's less than stellar moments in this wonderful game, unconnected to rage about this or that feature. In an effort to set the bar of stupidity fairly low to start off with, let me begin:

Started playing first time some time in 08. Left the game.
Came back in 2010, started new account.
Got to around 20 mil skillpoints many months down the line, it was a lot for me at the time. Joined incursions. My character's name was not easily said on TS. Resolved to make new character. Started new account.
New character, got to around 10 mil sp, didn't like the crowd I'd fallen in with, started new account.
Trained pvp alt on new account for 14 days, didn't like name, deleted.
Made new pvp alt, trained for 2 days, didn't like name, deleted.
Made new pvp alt.

The tale ends there, for now. But have no fear, I'm sure I will summon up more stupid in good time. Anyone else feel like sharing?

Undock

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Started playing in '03, thought I could quit when I got a real job, sold my char. He has well over 120m sp now and I want him back, mainly for nastalgia.

Paying above the market rate for a 2003 character who had a mish mash of randomly trained skills. Just to have an '03 alt. Cause having an 07 main is noob.

#1 Attack a POS in a bling-fit 2.5b ISK Tengu.

#2 It was an obvious trap, that I missed in my exuberance to shoot a POS.

Not being one to be overly excited by PvE, I once fell asleep while running a combat site in an Ishtar in Sydnicate.

Woke up about 4 hours later and thought it was funny that there were still some red crosses in the site.

Too tired to finish it off, I warped back to station and docked only to see my capsule load screen.

The rats had killed me in my sleep. Luckily no one else had stumbled upon the site and podded me though.

I also once sold a Vindicator for 115 million, falling for market manipulation and lack of double checking my 0s. But that's too embarrassing to mention.

Well, I started in 2004, sold the first main, and the second, and the third, fourth, and the fifth... well. I'm not doing that anymore.

If my first main didn't have such a dumbass name, I'd buy him back.

I ignorantly got baited by a munky. While it is one of the dumber things I have done, it was also the best thing as after the munky had his fun he taught me more than I could imagine.

Got dinged in a margin trading scam. Lost a few hundred million back when that was a lot of ISKies.

I just did my very first 'duel' outside of 4-4 today... Had no idea you could be a raging pussy and dock up the moment the duel starts and undock in something classes larger than the frigates we were squaring off in and insta-pop me 5s later.

At this point I'm convinced literally all undocked players at 4-4 are the worst of the worst in the game, like you gotta be lower than code/marmite imo to be this much of a raging fagtard.

Back to low-sec gate crashing for me :D
